Day 5 - 204 -- Smoking Hot

Wow! Yesterday was hot, but today was even hotter. There was a stiff breeze on and off during the day, but this made it feel more like a blast furnace. One might expect this breeze to help cool things. In the short walk from the car to the building -- both with a/c -- I was soaking wet from sweat that won't evaporate due to the humidity. The forecast for tomorrow shows no signs of change. The overnight 'low' will still feel like high 20s (close to low 80s). In the house it is 30C (84ish F) with humidity so it feels hotter here, too. Outside the window feels warmer and wetter than indoors, so not opening them tonight.

I don't do well in major heat especially with humidity. Most people I saw in the building today looked sweaty and exhausted while indoors with a bit of a/c. The humidity made everything sticky -- tearing paper was challenging when it was almost damp. <smile>  Sleeping becomes difficult when the house stays hot for days. Tired people = grumpy people -- if past heat waves have taught me anything. Thank goodness the day is spent in cooler air and the fan helps cool things in the night.

A line from a song went through my head today. It referred to heat and a reaction to it, though I heard my name instead of the machine named in the lyrics <smile>. Love the guitar and voice of the singer. Enjoy!
